The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science

约翰亚当斯加速器科学研究所（JAI）是英国先进和新颖加速器技术的卓越中心，提供加速器技术的专业知识，研究，开发和培训，并促进先进加速器在科学和社会中的应用。JAI成立于2004年，最初是牛津大学（UOXF）和伦敦皇家霍洛威大学（RHUL）物理系之间的合资企业，2011年在伦敦帝国理工学院（ICL）扩展了一个新的研究基地，加入了RHUL和UOXF的两个现有中心。我们运作的五项策略指导原则是：a)专注于培训计划，并加强培训计划，将加速器培训与激光和等离子体物理结合起来；B)专注于将合作大学联合起来的项目；C)聚焦激光等离子体加速及其在紧凑光源开发中的应用；d)继续支持和参与对联合王国具有战略重要性的项目；e)积极发展与英国和全球合作伙伴的合作项目。我们通过目前的奖助金的成功运作证实了这些指导原则的有效性，我们的目标是在未来的奖助金期间也保持这些原则。我们提交的2017-2021年重点关注国家优先事项，并将针对以下主题：1-研究生培训，2-开发新型x射线光源，允许研究新材料，新药，大而复杂的蛋白质分子；基于强激光脉冲激发等离子体尾迹的带电粒子加速新方法的发展；4-未来粒子对撞机的发展，这将允许研究最近发现的希格斯玻色子以外的物理；5-发展了加速非常强大的质子束的方法，使它们能够用于质子癌症治疗，为发现科学创造中子源，为基础粒子物理研究创造中微子源。我们还将发展与工业界的联系，参与外联活动。

The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science (JAI) is a Centre of Excellence in the UK for advanced and novel accelerator technology, providing expertise, research, development and training in accelerator techniques, and promoting advanced accelerator applications in science and society.The JAI, established in 2004, initially as a joint venture between the Departments of Physics in the University of Oxford (UOXF) and Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL), expanded in 2011 with a new research base at Imperial College London (ICL) joining the two existing centres at RHUL and the UOXF. The five strategic guiding principles of our operation are: a) focus on the training programme and its enhancement to encompass the accelerator training together with laser and plasma physics; b) focus on the programmes that bring the partner universities together; c) focus on laser-plasma acceleration and its application for development of compact light sources; d) maintaining support and engagement into the programmes of strategic importance for UK; e) proactively developing collaborative projects with UK and worldwide partners. Our successful operation through the present grant has confirmed the validity of these guiding principles and we are aiming to maintain these principles throughout the future grant period as well.Our submission for 2017-2021 is focused on the national priorities and will aim at the following themes: 1- graduate training, 2- development of novel X-ray light sources that allow to study novel materials, new medicines, large and complicated protein molecules; 3- development of novel methods of acceleration of charged particles based on excitation of wakes in plasma by intense laser pulse; 4- development of future colliders of particles, that will allow to study physics beyond of the recently discovered Higgs boson; 5- development of methods to accelerate very powerful beams of protons, enabling to use them for proton cancer therapy, for creation of neutron sources for discovery science and neutrino sources for fundamental particle physics study. We will also develop links with industry and participate in outreach.
